I’ve been receiving many questions on plyometrics, but I’ve noticed that nobody ever talks about

Got Plyometrics?

Plyometric training is a greatly debated subject in the athletic training/performance industry.

Some trainers and coaches swear by plyos, claiming that it can dramatically improve an athletes vertical jump.

In my opinion, both groups are right (to an extent).


Plyometrics, if performed correctly, can dramatically improve your vertical leap.

However, plyometrics can also cause serious injury if perfomed incorrectly.

It is therefore a double-edged sword when it comes to vertical jump training.

To make matters worse, there are a gazillion plyometric exercises and drills, and it is difficult to know which ones work and which ones don’t.
